NinjaTrader_ChrisL I am looking for help on how to add a breakeven to my strategy when the instrument is 20 ticks above my inital position. Can you help me? Below is the code to the strategy. If you need to change the stop loss to ticks to add a breakeven then please do. Any help is greatly appreciated. The second document has the strategy where I tried to add a breakeven but it doesn't execute trades now and I can't figure out why so if you have code that works for my strategy or is better I would appreciate you helping me.

Hello Cubanaso24, thanks for your post.

I can't find a flash video in this thread, they are all google drive links which should still play.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

[Cubanaso24]

We can't watch the video anymore because adobe got rid of flash. Do you have any other forms of the video?

Thanks Chris. So that's the managed approach.

But rather than reinvent the wheel, I've already got the ATM strategy created that I want for Targets, Stop Loss, and Break Even. Is there an example of how to use the AtmStrategyCreate() method on a strategy? I can implement the "Sample ATM Strategy" in the Strageties tab from control center, but have no way to view the code in the StrategyBuilder? Is there another way to view that code or a video on how it was built?

Thanks,

Nick

Never mind. I figured this out. Just have to go in an view the code from the Ninja Script Editor. Newbie post :-)

Hello nduckste, thanks for your post.

This is correct. The original example will only perform long entries.

Hello 123r34,

I am happy to submit a feature request on your behalf for the NinjaTrader Development to consider this for a future version of NinjaTrader. Please let me know if you would like to do this.

NinjaScript Strategies are meant to have the behavior customized by the logic of the programmer including any trailing or breakeven movements.

Attached are two examples of a breakeven movement and a trailing action created with the Strategy Builder.

(Update August 5th, 2020 - changed the CurrentTriggerPrice and CurrentStopPrice variables to doubles)

Quick check about this code. First, the logic makes sense. But this is just the LONG example. We'd have to code the opposite for the SHORTs. Is that accurate?

Hi. Can someone help me add a breakeven to this strategy? I been trying to do it on my own for a long time but I keep running into errors. All help will be greatly appreciated!

Hello Boesdude, thanks for your post.

The samples come "as is". We can not make any modifications to existing examples. You could change the strategy to work on every tick instead of the bar close, this would submit the stop loss sooner.

Please let me know if I can assist any further.

Hi

When using examples like the BreakEvenBuidler you always end up trading with no stop loss until the close of the entry bar. Is there anyway to work around this. Post the first bar everything works perfectly as you have a stop.

thank you

Hello Santillana1971, thanks for your reply.

You must set up two sets of trigger and stop prices. So keep the StopPrice and TriggerPrice variables, and make two more variables to use with your short orders.

We have tutorials on the condition builder here, if you would like to practice more with the builder as well (includes working with user inputs and variables):

Kind regards.
